At Rockport Center for the Arts, love is a verb. We see it in our galleries when families and friends spend time exploring exhibitions together, in our studios when children discover new creative passions through hands-on classes, and across our campus when artists find inspiration, professional opportunities, and a true sense of belonging. Your support helps make this possible.

Because of you, Rockport Center for the Arts offers year-round exhibitions, arts education for children and adults, free and low-cost community programs, artist workshops, and signature events like the Rockport Art Festival, Silver Meltdown, and Rockport Film Festival. These programs bring thousands of visitors to downtown Rockport each year and strengthen our local economy while enriching the cultural life of our community.

This February, we invite you to join our I ❤️ RCA campaign and help us reach our $100,000 fundraising goal. Your gift fuels inspiring exhibitions, hands-on arts education programs, a vibrant campus and sculpture garden, and meaningful cultural experiences that bring people together across generations.

A gift of $1 a day, $2 a day, $5 a day, or more, makes a meaningful impact. Together, we can ensure that the Arts remain accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for all who walk through our doors.

None of what we do would be possible without you. You are present in every class taught, every exhibition shared, and every moment of creativity that happens within our walls. Thank you for sharing your heart with Rockport Center for the Arts and for helping creativity continue to thrive in Rockport.

With gratitude and heart,
